It is a very harsh fact but its true. There is not much anybody can do unless the drinker does not drink. When the deamon gets hold of them its very hard for them to resist. alcoholics don't get "drunk" like we do and gain a tolerance for alcohol that would put me and you right under the table !
its a long hard road but counciling is I think the key, although that "deamon" may lay rooted way way back in their past only when that is resolved or at least reasoned out, only then is it possible to move on. I am so sorry to read of your loss but as I have tried to say please don't take it as any failiure on your part. Alcohol abuse is a terrible thing and we are all victims even if it is not us who get addicted to its effects.

Just to update you that our friend passed away this afternoon :cry:
there are no words I can express to tell you how we are feeling.
RIP
the rather lengthy post i just typed before reading this last is redundant.
i am truly sorry to hear it.
((( hugs to all concerned. )))

two words TOUGH LOVE is all that works
it works only insofar as it forces the addict to realise that yes, they have burned their bridges, and at last they are truly on their own, their only company being the syringe / bottle they cling to for comfort.
that is not altogether a helpful realisation for the addict seeking support in the struggle with their demons.
there is little enough love in the world, without withdrawing it from those who need a little love and a reason to live the most.

I agree wholeheartedly. Neil, you hit the nail on the head. :thumbup:

I believe that alcoholics anonymous recognise the fact that knowing you have a problem is one of the major steps to overcoming alcoholism. support and patience is all that can be offered. Well, that and some decent alcohol-free drinks...

H&H you have my sympathy, it's a terrible thing to watch someone go through.
I read this book years ago;
It does go some way to helping you understand what goes on in the mind of an alcoholic.
thanks scandal for that & thanks frecklebird for your pm

thanks :kiss:
